Rapamycin

Description

mTOR inhibitor; immunosuppressant

Rapamycin is a antifungal and immunosuppressant. Specific inhibitor of mTOR (mammalian target of Rapamycin). Complexes with FKBP-12 and binds mTOR inhibiting its activity. Inhibits interleukin-2-induced phosphorylation and activation of p70 S6 kinase. Induces autophagy in yeast and mammalian cell lines. Drives hPSC differentiation to mesendoderm and blood progenitor cells. Also used as a chemical dimerizer; rapamycin and GA3-AM (Cat. No. 5407) chemically inducible dimerization systems are orthogonal. Inhibits MERS-CoV infection of Huh7 cells in a plaque reduction assay. Enhances lentiviral transduction of hematopoietic stem cells.
